Artist: Booker Morey

Mr. Morey discovered a process for exposing the fine vein structure in leaves. This is a relatively new art, practiced only since 1993, and exclusively by Mr. Morey. His inventive and artistic nature brings you these lacey leaves in hand built shadowboxes highlighting the natural structure and colorful leaf surfaces. The shadowboxes can hang or stand, vertically or horizontally. Yes, the leaves are real!

"I wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for all your help and phone calls regarding the money clips I'm after. It seems nowadays that most retailers won't go out of their way to help people, so I'm particularly happy about the way you've helped me. Next time I'm visiting my brother, we'll be sure to stop in and say hello..."
